Reflecting on Revisions

The most interesting thing about the writer's paper that I read is that they definitely express how humorous Sedaris is in his essay.  This person says that they "lean more towards the humorous aspect" of Sedaris Essay.He points out that Sedaris uses "gassy quotes" to make the essay a bit humerous. This was interesting to me because I hadn't quite thought that Sedaris essay wasn't that humorous at all. I understood maybe why Sedaris made such remarks about some of the characters and the employees but I think that he did so out of boredom with the long waits and continuous delays. I personally thought thtat Sedaris was subconscioously being rude.

What stood out to me is that this writer often provides a general context for his writerly choices and just for his essay. I really do not see many specific examples from the text that shows why Sedaris essay is humorous. A general statement that this writer makes is 
 "the humor continued at a perfect balance throughout the writing, which helps to read at a great pace."  I believe that if this writer would have included specific examples when they were talking about the writerly choice, this draft would would have been stronger and it would have gave more context to and made Sedaris' purpose more clear.

I went about writing my essay by using writerly choices that not only myself but other readers could definitely relate to. I also decided upon using the writerly choices that I focused on because they were things that I can relate to as well as the feelings that I felt while reading the essay. I decided to compose my essay with an introduction to give background of Sedaris essay to he reader and to pull their attention in by giving an explanation of Sedaris essay in a way that the readers could relate it to their life. 

Some changes that I would make to my paper now is to definite;y include more of my voice to the readers so that they get a sense of who I am. I am so used to writing in the 2nd and third person that I often shy away from using "I" and giving my feelings and how I felt while writing an essay. An example is that "one of the most frustrating things about air traveling is timeliness and altogether the growing impatience of passengers and airline employees who have to deal with that."

I can see that I really want to express myself as a writer and by allowing myself to do so, it allows readers to see who I am as a writer which can help make me a stronger writer.
